Quick get me to the airport and stop at an internet shop till I print my boarding pass.
My flight leaves in an hour.
I told him to forget the internet shop, you can't check in on line inside 2 hours before take off.
He then tried to stop me taking the port tunnel.
I said to let me do my job and you can do yours.
He had missed that flight for sure.
But there would be other flights to London that day.
I asked him why he was going to London and he told me that they were going to make a movie about a book he had written called "Soldier for a summer"
He told me
"I gathered and led a foreign militia to overthrow Muammar Gaddaf in Libya. My truck was the first one into his compound"
Call me Sam
I was listening and he seemed genuine enough, but I could check on him later.
The way my mind works was to tell him simply to be careful,
This is your book and your life story,
These people could depict you as a fool or a drug addict and because you gave your total permission you would have no control over your work.
Get a theatrical solicitor to help you.
We arrived and he departed.
Sam was the real thing all right, his brother in law from Tallagh was the Lord mayor of Tripoli for a while.
I was talking to some of his friends today, he is still alive with his Irish wife.
Depending on where you stand Sam was a really brave man.
You never know ho you might meet next.

Wow, what a story! And I think driving a taxi is dangerous.
